Depends on where you're at. In the US, there is no such thing as an air brake endorsement - only a restriction for CDL drivers who don't both pass the written air brakes test and perform their road test in a vehicle so equipped. In other countries, there is such an endorsement.

What is air brake endorsement?
In some countries, to be permitted to operate an air brake equipped vehicle, your licence must show an endorsement which permits you to. In the US, "air brake endorsement" is actually a misnomer - there is no air brake endorsement on a US licence. If a CDL driver does not pass the written air brakes test and conduct their road test in an air brake equipped vehicle, they get a restriction prohibiting them from operating an air brake equipped commercial vehicles. However, this is only applicable to commercial vehicles - operating a non-commercial vehicle with air brakes requires absolutely no qualification, whatsoever.

Only if it's either designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver), or else carrying a quantity of hazardous materials which requires the display of placards under the FMCSR. In both instances, you would need at least a Class C CDL without an air brake restriction (there is no actual air brake endorsement), as well as a passenger endorsement (for a passenger bus) or hazardous materials endorsement.

GVWR, this would include any vehicle carrying hazmat, or any bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver).
